Alan Judd has his own retort to whether they "believed what they were reporting was true":
Actually, not pretty good. As I said, the media is well-protected by various doctrines and privileges. Fox was sued by a corporation. Individual lawsuits are typically only filed or won by people with a lot of money against rag mags.
Just as with the alleged victim in the Jarrett case, lots of complaining but no crime. The AJC printed some things that weren't completely accurate but by withholding key elements, they were disingenuous. Nothing there for a successful lawsuit.
It just isn't easy to sue the media, no matter what you think.
My guess is that because the legal age of consent in GA is 16. Would he have been charged as an adult? Absolutely. Therefore, the authorities have no overwhelming reason to withhold his name.
Brooks Austin was a little less "measured" in his comments.

Rupert Murdoch might disagree.
There are protection in place sure and the bar is high. But if the AJC knowingly reported something that was false trust me there is a lawyer out there who would take the case pro bono or take on initial expenses in the hopes of a big payday.
Most ambulance chasers work this way. They pay everything up front hoping they get a big settlement to recoup costs and make a huge profit.
There isn't though because the AJC didn't do that ala Fox News
This.
“The AJC printed some things that weren't completely accurate but by withholding key elements, they were disingenuous.”
They didn’t print lies, they just withheld all the contrary information that proves innocence.
If prosecutors do this, it’s a Brady violation.
I see the Skip quicksand is still alive and well. Kudos to you all for trying to change his mind once it’s been set.
Or possibly charged with Statutory rape of a minor .....?
Well 16 is the age of consent so I get why they didn't charge her with that. Not that they would have if it wasn't. Gargantuan double standard.
Still have not answered my question......
Its okay if you don't want to answer.....but it really seems like you are simply taking a stand without having read the ajc article and/or refused to acknowledge the very cogent arguments standing against your take...
The Jake Rowe article, unlike the ajc article, does not state an opinion as to the incident, but simply reports the TOTAL messages of the interaction (not cut and pasted) between Jarrett and his accuser as well as the ENTIRE discussion by the police....
if you read it at all and compared it to what Alan Judd wrote, it is fairly easy to see which author has an agenda and which does not.....
Die on this hill if you must....but freedom of the press should mean an unbiased reporting of the news ...... the most important part of the news--that Jarrett WAS NOT charged after the investigation was barely mentioned in the ajc article.....
should be enough to invoke anyone's doubt as to the investigative prowess of this reporter...... or the motive behind the article....
This is the Wilkerson way. You’re speaking into the void and will not get the response you’re looking for.
Oh, I know.... my post is mainly there to state my opinion....and criticism of the ajc and its various writers.
And I do agree about the vapid abyss of which you speak!
It’s so eerily similar of trying to simply reason with either of two previous (and long gone) ones that refused to engage any kind of genuine dialogue no matter what in the total forum hot-heads of @WCDawg, or @BillyDawg1
At least Skip won’t call you a cork soaker if you disagree with him
I wonder if he would pee on us if we were on fire.
Unbelievable. Two folks, @Hemingwey and @Bdw3184 are two of the nicest people in our forum, and I consider both of y’all to be my friends. They both just happen to also have let’s say legal backgrounds too. That’s how they earn their living! I still for the life of me cannot figure out why this one particular DawgNation forum member keeps on writing rant, after rant here on this thread in each response, now giving off the appearance IMHO of being a pretty severe curmudgeon at a bare minimum, and just a complete and total loon on the other??? Dang!
@DvilleDawg probably not. 😂
@christopherules .. curmudgeon.. you win today's internet! That person is a lost cause let's all move on.
@how2fish amen sir. GO DAWGS!!!
Rival fan bases love the AJC (or ACJ)
